Infobip is a Croatian IT and telecommunications company founded in 2006. [6]
Infobip was established in the Croatian city of Vodnjan in 2006 and is led by its co-founders by CEO Silvio Kutić and Izabel Jelenić. [7] [8] Before founding Infobip, Silvio Kutić created Virtual Community, that allowed group communication via web, email, and SMS, with the first message sent as a Christmas text from Vodnjan's town hall to its diaspora. Realizing the technology wasn't scalable, he developed a communications API platform, leading to the creation of Infobip. [9] [10]
In 2014 and 2015, the company expanded operations into Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region. [11] [12] [13]
In 2020, Infobip raised $200 million from One Equity Partners. At the time, its valuation was estimated to exceed $1 billion, making it the first Croatian company to reach "unicorn" status (a term referring to privately held startups valued over $1 billion). [14] [15] That year, Infobip also acquired OpenMarket, a cloud messaging firm based in Seattle, United States. [16]
In 2021, Infobip acquired Shift Conference, a technology conference organizer focused on areas such as software development, fintech, and artificial intelligence. [17]
In July 2022, Infobip acquired Peerless Network, a U.S.-based telecommunications provider founded in 2008. [18] Infobip reported revenues of €1.55 billion in 2022 and €1.735 billion in 2023. [19] Its communications platform handled 453 billion interactions annually, with 301 billion being SMS interactions. [20] During Cyber Week 2024, the company reported an increase in total interactions from 8.2 billion in 2023 to 11.6 billion in 2024. [21] [22] [23]
Since 2023, Infobip has provided financial and resource-based support to more than 300 startups through its Startup Tribe program. [24]
In September 2017, the company opened a 17,000-square-meter campus named Pangea in Vodnjan, Croatia. [25]
IIn 2022, Infobip opened a second campus in Zagreb, named Alpha Centauri. [26] Designed by the 3LHD architectural firm, the 20,000-square-meter campus is located near the Sveta Klara and Remetinec neighborhoods. [26]
